Age: 8 months (as of 11/10/24)

Weight: 49 pounds (as of 10/4/24)

Location: RI

This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.

Wes, and his brother Hobbie Lobby, appear to be Labrador Retriever mixes. They lived in a home with adults and multiple animals including dogs, a cat, and chickens in the South. They are a bit focused on the cat so might not be the best fit to live with one. 

Wes' housetraining is in progress, and he is good in the crate after a few barks. He is a true extrovert and wants to say to everyone. He is a great houseguest and loves to hang out with his people. He is also a great errand buddy and loves to go for rides in the car. 

Wes is a terrific and energetic young dog who will be a great fit in a wide variety of living situations. He will be a wonderful hiking companion, and anyone who is lucky enough to adopt him will have a loving companion for life! 

We recommend obedience training for all of our dogs, especially puppies. That way, you can both learn the commands together, and the dog gains confidence.
